brush covered land unless exhaust system is 
equipped with a spark arrester meeting 
applicable local, state or federal laws. A spark 
arrester, if it is used, must be maintained in 
effective working order by operator.

your vehicle before filling.
When practical, remove gas-powered 
equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel 
it on the ground. If this is not possible, then 
refuel such equipment on a trailer with a 
portable container, rather than from a 
gasoline dispenser nozzle.
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the 
fuel tank or container opening at all times until 
fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-
open device.
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing 
immediately.

battery terminals at the same time may result 
in injury and unit damage. DO NOT reverse 
battery connections.
Reverse connections may result in sparks
